200 Street Bus Rapid Transit + Transit Corridor Plan

TransLink's proposed Bus Rapid Transit line along 200 Street is the catalyst behind the Township of Langley's new Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan (WTCP). The plan consolidates the Carvolth, Latimer, Jericho, Routley and Southwest Gordon Estate neighbourhood plans into one transit-oriented framework, with five envisioned BRT station hubs supporting mixed-use, mid-rise and higher-density development along the corridor.

New Willoughby Community Centre

The Township of Langley is planning a new Willoughby Community Centre. As currently scoped in public engagement materials, the facility is planned to include a 37.5 m lap pool, leisure and hot pools, fitness facility, gymnasium, library and multipurpose rooms, plus major upgrades to Yorkson Community Parks North and South.

2025 Official Community Plan + 2026 Willoughby plan update

Council adopted the 2025 Official Community Plan Update (Bylaw No. 6200) on December 1, 2025, with strengthened housing, heritage and climate-action policies. Bylaws for the new Willoughby Community Plan, Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan and Gordon Neighbourhood Plan received first and second reading on May 25, 2026 and are progressing through the public hearing process.

Why future connectivity matters to homeowners

Homes near improving transit and infrastructure tend to hold value well over time. Buying ahead of the SkyTrain opening means owning in a neighbourhood that's still growing into its long-term form.
